I want to know how that photoshoot went down.

"Hey, Yolanda, we'll give you a thousand bucks if you let some guy who couldn't make it in Hollywood blow smoke in your face from a few inches away. But you have to pretend you like it."

It's adorable that you think that she'd get paid anything like $1,000.00 for that ad. Quick search shows that an art model made about $12.00/hour. A top model like Twiggy could make $30,000.00 a year.

It's also amusing that you think that getting smoke blown on you was considered abnormal at the time.

Haha yeah I thought just after I hit post, she probably got WAY less than $1000. Even inflation adjusted, probably still not.
